Bubblegum will surely be a new favorite of our Pulling Oil flavors! With all the same oral health benefits as our other Pulling Oil Mouthwashes, bubblegum’s incredible flavor will take you right back to good memories of your favorite chewing gum as a kid!

Our bubblegum flavor is also perfect for encouraging your kids to enjoy cleaning their teeth! With our alcohol and fluoride free blend, they will enjoy the fun flavor and you can relax knowing they’re not interacting with any harsh or harmful ingredients. 

Oil Pulling is an ancient Ayurvedic practice for eliminating bad breath, promoting healthy oral care of teeth and gums, and helping prevent long term diseases. 


How to Oil Pull with The Dirt Pulling Oil


Our Pulling Oil can be used in two ways; as a 2-3 minute mouthwash or a 15-20 minute oil pulling session. Use a capful (or tablespoon) amount of oil to swish through your mouth, teeth and gums for the suggested amount of time to pull out impurities that affect oral health. The oils will dislodge junk from your teeth and gums so there is no need to brush your teeth before starting. Spit the oil into the trash or a plastic bag because it is not good for your drains. Rinse with water or salt water and look at your fresh smile in the mirror!

MCT Coconut Oil

Coconut Oil is an amazing moisturizer, even for your gums. It is antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and helps prevent bacteria development that causes Strep, Candida, and Staph. Its antiseptic properties make it the perfect remedy for small cuts and mouth sores. 


Sesame Oil

Sesame Oil helps eliminate oral malodor and the microbes that cause it just as much as other methods. Sesame Oil is proven to have anti-inflammatory, anti-fungal, and anti-plaque effects when used as a pulling oil. Tyrosine in  sesame oil is linked to serotonin which helps boost mood levels and decrease anxiety. 


Sea Buckthorn

Sea Buckthorn is an anti-inflammatory that soothes and reduces redness in the mouth. It is known for it’s in depth vitamin, antioxidant and flavonoid content which is good for your immune system  to fight infection and cell regeneration.


Peppermint

Peppermint oil not only has a fresh, minty flavor, but it also has antibacterial properties and therefore helps prevent infections and the development of cavities. Studies have proven that peppermint oil can be more effective than the chemical ingredients used in traditional mouthwashes. Peppermint oil is also particularly effective against anaerobic bacteria, which thrives in low oxygen environments like the spaces between teeth or the space below the gum line. 

 

Cardamom

An Ayurvedic favorite, cardamom oil has antibacterial, disinfectant, anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. It can be used for general oral health, but it has also been proven as an effective treatment for tooth decay.

 

Rose

Rose oil is remarkably versatile. It eases pain, decreases anxiety and has antiseptic and antibacterial properties. Rose oil has been found to be effective against E. coli, staph infections, strep throat and Candida.



Tea Tree

Has been used to treat mouth sores for a long time by mixing drops of oil into a cup of warm water and then either rinsing or directly applying to the affected area. The antiviral, antiseptic, and anti-inflammatory properties will help heal mouth sores of any kind. 


Clove 

Clove contains the active ingredient benzocaine, the same thing dentists use to numb areas of the mouth before procedures. So it is a highly effective ingredient for relieving  pain associated with toothaches. 


Turmeric

A well-known anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial herb that can prevent gingivitis, or gum disease. In Ayurveda, turmeric is used to provide relief from cavities and tooth decay. It is helpful in our Pulling Oil for dislodging food and plaque from between your teeth and around your gums. 


Myrrh

Myrrh is a coveted oil used in ancient medicine. It is used as an astringent, antiseptic to treat inflamed lesions of the mouth, soreness from a sore throat or inflamed gums, pain from toothaches, relieves bad breath, and heals minor cuts and sores.  


Natural Menthol and Rosemary Extract

These two oils are natural preservatives which help prevent bacteria growth and extend the shelf-life of Pulling Oil.
